How to remove phone bill from pool?

[Household6]

When I opened the bill and saw the amount I thought AT&T had gone off the deep end! Little did I realize . . .

Any ideas on how to get sheets of paper out of the pool?

Not that I care what it says (I can view the bill online), but
- If I use the net it’s going to shred and make a huge mess.
- Don’t want to chance Wall-E (robot) rolling over it and him getting torn up.
- I’d send in the resident teenager to retrieve it, but water is a frigid 64 degrees! (Was 74 last week!)
- I could leave it and wait for things to warm up, but with all the pollen and debris falling in, water will likely go green without vacuuming.

Any suggestions?

Great to be back having #firstworldproblems again!

If you leave it long enough it will disintegrate into fibers and be picked up by the filter. Just move them around so the ink wont stain your finish.

Pool is 64 degrees? Dive and get them. Its not that bad. If you got some teenagers pay them. Mine 9 year old wouldn't think twice about jumping in if I promised her ice cream.

It will hold together if it hasn’t been sitting there for a month.

If it doesn't hold together, the vacuum and filter will catch the bits.

If you have a vacuum and in-line leaf filter, it would be the best.
If don't have this setup, use a net carefully.

This might have been the case.

Update for any future need -

Yes, the paper had been in the bottom of the pool for a week or so.

Used the wall brush (our pole extends to something like 15’) and swept/pulled it across the bottom and up the wall. One page didn’t cooperate and tore, but I was able to get much of it out. The rest I brushed around into small pieces to let WallE pick it up.
